[arm-allstar] UV-5R Connection Points

[(KP4TR)Ramon Gonzalez]

I have found the UV-5R to be a terrible radio as a node radio. It gets 
hot quickly even in low power. The BF-888S works very well and gets just 
warm in low power under heavy use.

See http://kp4tr.org/?page_id=335 for details on BF-888S (BF-777 and 
BF-666 is the same).
